My top 2026 predictions:

1. Luxon and co lose the 2026 election.
2. MCFC win the PL.
3. Auckland win the A-League.
4. Blue wave in the US midterms.
5. Lakers to go out in playoffs 1st round.
6. Blues to win Super Rugby 🤞
8. Iranian regime falls.
9. AI to get very dangerous.

Kieran McAnulty couldn’t have described the Nats’ shocking policy better:

“It's a tried and true Tory approach. Kick the beneficiaries, and hope that it gives them a bounce in the polls.”

It is is Dmac at 10 and Beauden at 15. No Jacomb.

Scott B starts; weird Holland’s not in the team at all… Frizell and Segner off the bench will be good at least?

[All Blacks @AllBlacks]

Team for Bledisloe One.

TYRESE HALIBURTON IS BACK

Lovely backdrop, but to me the US is far closer to the disastrous back-end of Athenian hegemony than what Rubio seems to think.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: This thumos, as the Ancient Greeks called it - the fire of passion, strength, courage, pride - is the heart of great civilization. Without it, nations lose their will to fight, to strive, to survive.

One of the hardest articles I’ve read in a while. Impossible not to tear up.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

At 9:20am on October 7 2023, 16 Nova festivalgoers, fleeing the biggest terror attack in Israel’s history, scrambled into a large fluorescent-yellow dumpster and buried themselves deep beneath the piles of rubbish.

They hid from Hamas for three hours. These texts reveal every minute of their battle for survival ⤵️

long-term unemployment has tripled during the last three years, because there's no jobs

and the solution is to make life harder for the victims of economic failure?

[Pop Base @PopBase]

French mayor Bally Bagayoko was recently seen protecting student protestors from police.

[Joakim 🌹🇳🇴🇪🇺 @joakial_]

Nothing can justify Hamas’ attacks on October 7, or what has taken place in Israeli attacks. My solidarity goes to the many Israelis and Palestinians who long for peace, security, and a better future for their children.

[CD* @dom1elgran]

Unbelievable that France has 10 hour school days.

There will always be bad actors in any protest. But can we get back to calling out how bad the general conditions apparently are for students??

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Students have been leading weeks-long protests across France, particularly in Paris, calling on the government to improve learning conditions, citing issues such as staff shortages and overcrowded classrooms.

Police have arrested more than 6,000 people, with reports of students being seriously injured, including a 15-year-old boy that had his hand blown off when a police stun grenade exploded during a protest in Lens.

[Maria Sherwood @MariaSherwood2]

If Luxon does, he's a hypocrite. In the debate he said his proudest moment was meeting the Ukrainian troops we trained in the UK.

Give him a seat in the press box and let him loose on the parasites attacking his legacy.

Damn, real unlucky for them. Not liking how many injuries we’ve gotten this year 😭😭

Looking like a possible Beauden-Dmac starting combo?

[All Blacks @AllBlacks]

Update from Auckland. Gutted for our brothers 🖤

Wishing you both a strong recovery. We’re with you all the way 🫶🏼

[Raff @BeersnBlues]

They all want City out the league one way or another. They just can’t compete and they’re fed up of not being top dogs like they used to. Let’s face it, City spent the same as Utd Ars & Liv but just done it better. Regardless of breaking rules they competed with the elite and won

[T @Talhaa10_]

yeah i see why the club are calling it “the opinion of the independent panel”

not really independent is it looool this red cartel shite was childish and funny but it’s real. them vs the rest

[CD* @dom1elgran]

Lmao of course. Nothing independent about the panel which heard the case.

All tied up with the red cartel and Spurs.

[City Xtra @City_Xtra]

BREAKING: Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham were notified of #ManCity's guilty verdict before the rest of the league. In September 2024, they were the four Premier League clubs that gave @ManCity legal notice of their right to seek compensation.

[Ninety Three Twenty @9320pod]

The CEO of one of the world's biggest companies works hard, is demanding, and can sometimes be a bit aloof.

In other news. There will be weather tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that.

What a story, she was genuinely the second best thing to come out of that debate yesterday 😭😭
